Having scanned the surroundings without spotting any danger, the shadow lowered his head subtly, then quickly flipped through the book, attempting to find something. For a moment, the silent room was filled with the sound of pages turning, the noise was neither loud nor soft, mingling with the gusts of the night wind entering the room, making it have a unique feel.
However──
"Who is there?"
A sudden voice disrupted the unique calmness of the room.
This voice was filled with laziness and confusion, as if it belonged to a half-asleep person. But upon listening carefully, one could also discern a hint of chilliness in her voice. It was as if she was leisurely toying with her prey, calmly luring it to fall into her trap.
The intruder jerked in surprise, raising his eyes in astonishment towards the bed. He barely made out a figure getting up from the bed. Without further ado, he gripped the book tightly and quickly headed towards the window to escape.
However, what awaited the intruder will not be easy escape, for Flossie Wright has been on the alert for a long time.
In the instant of turning over, Flossie grabbed a blanket lying on the bed and throw it directly. As the intruder lifted his hand to block, Flossie propped herself up on the bed in one fluid motion, she moved her whole body like a deft panther and pounced on the black figure. The intruder, whose sight was blocked by the blanket for an instant, only reacted when it was too late. Flossie’s moves were unyieldingly fierce and decisive, and with a few simple swift moves, the intruder was taken aback.
However, as he exerted force on his elbows, his grip on the book loosened slightly, and by the time he realized what was happening, the book had already fallen onto the ground.
Sweat began to form at his forehead in his anxiousness. As he frantically tried to catch the falling book, he simultaneously dealt with Flossie, but unfortunately, he not only had to tackle the formidable Flossie, but also had to work hard to grab the book on the floor. He was on the back foot, left unguarded for a moment, and was immediately thrown back by Flossie’s counterattack.
At this point, he had been forced to the window by Flossie Wright.
Looking at Flossie, who was again closing in, he bit his teeth angrily inside his heart. Without any hesitation, he swept a furious glance at the book he had left behind, quickly ran to the balcony, jumped off before Flossie could close in again and ran towards the outer wall of the Snowfield. Surprisingly, he skillfully evaded the range of the camera.
Flossie Wright, who had just been pressing hard, now stood by the window, calmly watching as his silhouette disappeared.
"Thump. Thump. Thump."
It seems that the noise inside the room was heard, and hurried knocks on the door followed. Then the bodyguard’s cautious voice came from outside.
"Miss, are you alright?"
There is a certain alertness in his voice, and of course, a hint of nervousness too.
It can be said that those people outside were worried about Flossie’s safety while also concerned that she might sneak out again. If that were to happen, it would cause them a lot of trouble.
Flossie gradually retracted her gaze, glanced at the direction of the door, bent down to pick up the book from the ground and casually discarded it on the bed before walking unhurriedly towards the door and opening it.

It was undoubtedly, seeing her safe, the bodyguards simultaneously sighed with relief.
"You may all leave. Notify Regan Wright that I consent to the arranged date."
After a brief glance at them, Flossie spoke indifferently. Before her words fell, all that greeted them was the door that closed with a chill gust of wind, Flossie’s figure had already been obstructed inside.
